Ships & Modules

Yep, tech2 ships definitely are on our to-do list. While Command Ships, Black Ops and Heavy Assault Cruisers are quite in dire need of attention, we'll most likely go over them all one class at a time to make sure they fit with what we've done so far with the tiericide.

I would be fascinated to know what you think about HACS any role bonus like the AF in mind and any thoughts on specializing there bonuses towards maybe a more vaga/deimos like approach i.e. short range guns/HAMS especially the caldari HACS in particular?

Please Please don't touch my Redeemer its fine the way it is.

Edit: If you put laucnher hard points on it like its t1 counter part...so help me :P

Perhaps it predates me, but why do the resists have no consistency. For example the massive EM resist on minnie shields.

Seems bizarre.

Ishtar could use a bonus adjustment. Like dropping the drone bay bonus, increase the base bay size, and add another turret bonus.
At that point its a matter of fixing medium rails which would help with a lot of what's wrong with the Gallente cruiser and bc lineup.Vexor and Navy Vexor stay being pure drone boats while Ishtar and Myrm have the turrets to go with their drones.

Lol I just posted a new thread about the Eagle asking just that.

This^ . Make them bigger brothers of the AF's. like almost exactly the same, but on a cruiser level.

So make the Cerberus a kick ass HAM brawler, or capable HML sniper (lol), just like the Hawk can do with Rockets or Light missiles. The Eagle, well it already has identical bonuses to the Harpy, so I guess buffing rails and maybe changing the slots around is the fix needed.

The Sacrilage is already a large Vengeqnce, but make the bonuses consistent, so Missile Damage and ROF for Amarr cruiser bonus, and cap recharge and resists for HAC bonus. Give the Zealot the Sarum skin and swap the 5% ROF cruiser bonus for a 7.5% Tracking bonus, just like a Retribution.

I won't speak on Minmatar because I feel that their AF's and the Muninn are broken. The Vagabond is fine. Perhaps change the Jaguar to get the same bonuses as the Vaga?

The Deimos I feel should receive the same bonuses as the Enyo, so a 10% damage bonus for the cruiser skill, and the 7.5% tracking bonus, and leave the falloff bonus, just give it to the Ento too instead of its optimal one. The Ishtar, well I'm not sure if it should get the Ishkur's bonuses, or the other way around.

This is just my thought on the subject. By making the HACslarger versions of the AFs then you streamline training and create a clearer progression.

Edit: CCP, please give us Assault Destroyers.

Bolded the part that should never happen.

Or else watch the Zealot's DPS drop to anemic.

This, and for practical purposes, they provide a general counter to NPC damage types, as well as adding some variety into standard ship fittings.

I know the HACs look bad (and really, the Caldari ones ARE bad), but those resists are easy to underestimate, particularly in gangs which have Logi and Links.
